IntelliCon LCH

TheLCH is a microprocessor-based, fuel-saving control for light-commercial hot-water (hydronic) heating systems. The LCH reduces fuel consumption, wear on parts, flue emissions and electrical usage, when installed on any new or existing gas or oil burner. The LCH saves energy by adjusting the burner run pattern to match the system’s “heat load”. Its action is similar to the industry-accepted method of “outdoor-air temperature reset control,” but does not require an outdoor-air temperature sensor or the need to profile the building in order to adjust the “reset” controller properly. The LCH determines the “heat load” by using an easily installed strap-on temperature sensor that monitors the boiler’s out-flow water temperature and the rate this temperature is changing.
